Cake pops.

These are fun, quick and easy. They are great for kids parties and by putting them in cake pop bags, they can take the place of the hastily serviette wrapped birthday cake in the party bag. 

You will need either a silicone cake pop tray or an electric 3 in 1 cake maker.

Ingredients 

120g/4oz cake margarine
120g/4oz caster sugar
2 eggs
120g/4oz self-raising flour
 few drops of vanilla essence
tablespoon warm water

200g chocolate of your choice
selection of sprinkles and edible glitter
cake pop sticks

Method

  1. Prepare either your silicone or electric cake pop maker, as to the manufacture's instructions. Preheat the oven to 180oc/350oc/Gas mark 4, if using a silicone tray.
  2. Sieve the flour, then using an electric whisk, cream together the cake margarine and caster sugar, until a light cream in colour. Add one egg and beat in, follow by a tablespoon of flour, then beat in the other egg. Scrape down the bowl, using a spatula or bakery scraper, add the vanilla essence and beat well. Add flour and warm water and fold in using your hand or a metal spoon.
  3. Put a heaped teaspoon of mix into each domed mould and bake for 4-6 minutes or according to the manufacture's instructions. When baked, remove from cake pop maker and leave to cool.
  4. Melt the chocolate either in the microwave or in a bowl over a saucepan of recently boiled water. Then insert a cake pop stick into the first cake pop and using a palette knife, smother chocolate all over it. Decorate using your chosen sprinkles and glitter. Then place into a glass, using the rim as support, while the chocolate sets. Repeat with the other cake pops.
